This collection of Jo Rippier's recent poetry has been stunningly illustrated by Gerhard Elsner, whose work is represented in major art museums through Germany, and for whom a retrospective is being held in Uberlinger, Germany to mark his seventieth birthday. The poems themselves, show a preoccupation with nature, its seasons, moods, and manifestations. This is nature at the end of the twentieth century. Not a romanticized or abstract view, but much more, an attempt to ask what place nature still has: in poetry, and in a world increasingly dominated by man.
